Under the guidance of KML teacher Tom
Mellon, work began in 1994 to develop an outdoor environmental classroom
in the school's wetlands. The environmental classroom was dedicated on
September 30, 1995. Consisting of several ponds, wetlands, and prairie
areas planted with native vegetation, the environmental classroom is
used as a living laboratory by students in Biology and Environmental
Science courses. Paths criss-cross the environmental classroom, opening
it to exploration by visitors to the campus, nature lovers, and even
our cross-country team.
